It Never Ends
She walks
Into the room
Stops and
Swallows
People having
Conversations
She can’t
Follow
Now she’s
Stumbling
Walking on
Broken Glass
Her world’s
Spinning in
Slow motion
Still moving too fast
Out of breath
She falls
To the floor
“Be Strong”
They rush
To help her
She whispers
“You’re wrong”
Now he looks
At her
From across
The room
And everything’s
Starting
To happen
Too soon
They lift
Her up
Into the
Ambulance
The sirens
The screaming
She’s in
A trance
She wakes
From the dream
Of her past
A nightmare
He wraps his
Arm around her
And asks
“Are you scared?”
She looks
At him
With those
Questioning eyes
“How can you
Pick the
Truth from
The lies?”
He laughs
And rolls over
Soon falls
Back to sleep
Afraid of
The dreams
Of the memories
She keeps
She lies awake
Her eyes open
To darkness
Surrounding her
Finally they close
The lack of sleep
Too much
To endure
But once
She’s awoken
It happens
Again
And the events
Once more
Over and over
Begin
